- Tanish Kaur
Sem.IV, ID - UID
Being at UID has been an amazing and fun-loving experience. Our faculties have been extremely co-operative, they have helped us to explore the new us, by always encouraging us to move out of the classroom environment and explore the outside world. They have been organizing masterclasses, site visits to help us gather more knowledge about the professional world. UID has been a wonderful place, it has welcomed students from different cities and cultures with open arms. –Tanish Kaur PG Semester IV, Interior Design 2018-2020
